What did you have at that booth at that home show? Did you have a good return? We went to one this past Saturday and I hope to go to it next year.

I had some blown up pictures, material samples, brochures, cards, magnets, pens and even took one of my snowblowers. This year Im doing a much bigger expo and Im going to have a small tv playing powerpoint of our work, a 4x8 banner (business card layout, only much larger) in my background, material samples, my tablet to show examples of specific work, my framed newspaper article (3), chamber of commerce award, etc. Everything that makes you look better than the other guy helps. Yes, for the small expo I got my money back and more. Made some great connections with other businesses, which really is what I think a lot of it is about.

Now your running your show like I do haha. Getting a truck all done up then getting rid of it haha, congrats on the new truck though

Hah. I know. It killed me to trade that truck after all i put in it. But they did give me a great offer on it, i kept the vplow/bracket, as well as all my strobes, etc. I got a great deal on the dump too, so it was a win-win.
